A2 Technology Discussion Questions for Young Learners (7-9)
Young learners live in a world of tablets, voice assistants, and educational apps. These 50 questions let 7-9 year olds talk about the technology they interact with daily: games on tablets, watching videos, using voice assistants, and learning with school apps. The A2 language is simple enough for young speakers while the topics generate genuine enthusiasm.
The vocabulary items are concrete and visual: words children can demonstrate or point to. 'Screen,' 'speaker,' 'charge,' 'button,' and 'record' are tech words that young learners encounter daily. Learning them in English connects classroom learning to real-world experience.
Tech talk for young learners
Keep discussions short (45-60 seconds per pair) and focus on personal experience questions: 'What games do you play on a tablet?' 'Do you talk to Alexa or Siri?' These questions are easy for A2 young learners to answer because they draw on daily experience rather than requiring abstract thinking.
Concrete vocabulary from digital life
Young learners often have strong opinions about technology that they struggle to express in English. A child who desperately wants to describe their favourite game needs the vocabulary to do so. These questions create the motivation, and the vocabulary items provide the language.
